The Xinzi Scroll

 It has been almost a month since Baochai, Baoqin and his party arrived in Yongping Mansion.

A strange environment always makes people a little uncomfortable, but Baochai also knows that this is a necessary experience for a woman, or as a woman who follows her husband.

The husband is an official and Tongzhi here. To be precise, he is the number two person in this land. As the wife of Tongzhi, he needs to assume the necessary roles and perform them.

The husband is very busy and always feels like he is in a military state. He goes out early in the morning every day and comes back at night. Even if he comes back for dinner, he doesn’t have much time. This makes Baochai and Baoqin quite unhappy.

Surprised, is it possible that a government official is so busy with his affairs?

Of course, neither of them would be dissatisfied if their husband was too busy and neglected them. It is not a bad thing for him to be busy with his career, and everyone knows that when his husband is struggling hard in his career, as a housewife, he should give him unreserved support.

I support it, but as a newlywed, some small grudges are inevitable.

Apart from Eryou, Qingwen also came over from the Changfang. It was said that she was helping Eryou manage daily affairs.

Baochai and Baoqin didn't have any attitude. It was the elder's business to make any arrangements there, so it was not their turn to intervene. However, Qingwen's sudden appearance still made them a little wary.

As for Eryou, although the two girls have plump breasts, waist and buttocks, blue eyes and white skin, which are very attractive to men, in Baochai Baoqin's view, it is just a man's curiosity.

Coupled with Second Sister You's submissive and honest temperament, and Third Sister You's carefree and tomboy temperament, they did not pose much of a threat to the two of them at all.

Baochai and Baoqin didn't even care that Eryou would get pregnant and give birth to a child. Even if Eryou snatched the son from his husband, given their bloodline and status, it would be difficult for such a bastard to gain a high status in the Feng family, and it would be of no concern.

.

Qingwen's situation was slightly different. From Xiangling's insider, Baochai Baoqin knew that her husband had something special about Qingwen, a voluptuous girl with a hot temper and unruly personality.

But Xiangling didn't know when Feng Ziying had an unusual attitude towards the girl Qingwen, and she didn't know what it was about the girl Qingwen that allowed Uncle Feng to pamper her with such wealth.

Yes, Qingwen is extremely handsome, but when it comes to beautiful girls, what is missing?

She is just a girl, how can she be worthy of being so concerned about Uncle Feng.

Not to mention, Baochai and Baoqin can also see that Qingwen is still a virgin. If Feng Ziying really only cares about her beauty and body, how can she still be there until now?

Moreover, since Shen Yixiu took the initiative to put this girl here in Yongping Mansion, he obviously had some intention. However, this month has almost passed, and he has not seen any movement from his father-in-law. Obviously, this should not be the reason.

.

But no matter what, Qingwen's appearance still made Baochai and Baoqin a little wary. Although it didn't make the two of them worry too much, since the husband had some different feelings and attitudes towards this woman, it would naturally arouse the two women's caution.

This kind of woman is nothing more than serving people with sex and pleasing men on the bed. From a dark perspective, Baochai even doubts Shen Yixiu's intentions, although she doesn't quite believe that Shen Yixiu is the eldest daughter-in-law. If a lady has such despicable methods, she will undoubtedly look down upon her.

While Baochai and Baoqin were still trying to adapt to life in Yongping Mansion as soon as possible, Feng Ziying was still nervously waiting for news from Beijing.

The Beijing inspection has already begun, which involves the adjustment and changes of the entire court officials. Of course, it will inevitably involve local governments, but it is mainly focused on court officials.

The official appearance of the seven ministers and the Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate marked the beginning of the largest personnel adjustment since Emperor Yonglong ascended the throne, and this was also the most important wave of personnel adjustments after the new cabinet was formed. The layout also marked that the three mainstream factions in the Zhou officialdom - Jiangnan scholars, Northern scholars, and Huguang scholars - had basically reached a compromise.

Zhang Jingqiu, the censor of Zuodu, was from Nanzhi Jinling, but he was inclined to the emperor, or belonged to the imperial party; Gao Panlong, the official secretary, was from Wuxi, Nanzhi, and belonged to the Zhejiang alliance of Nanzhi scholars in the south of the Yangtze River; Huang Ruliang, the minister of household affairs, was from Quanzhou, Fujian He is from the Fujian Jiangyou Alliance among Jiangnan scholars; Gu Bingqian, the Minister of Rites, is from Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River and is an imperialist; Zhang Huaichang, the Minister of the Ministry of War, is from Liaodong and is a scholar from the North; Liu Yishui, the Minister of Punishment, is from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province and is among the Jiangnan scholars. The Fujian Jiangyou Alliance; Cui Jingrong, the Minister of Industry, was from Damingfu, Beizhi, and a scholar from Beidi; Ying Zhen, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce, was from Huangzhou, Huguang, and a scholar from Huguang.

Among the Eight Great Vajras, pure Jiangnan scholars occupy three seats, and the two most important ministerial positions of the Ministry of Personnel and Household Affairs are controlled by Jiangnan scholars, two seats are held by Beidi scholars, and one seat is held by Huguang scholars.

There are two seats in the imperial party, but in terms of their place of origin, they are also Jiangnan scholars.

The Northern scholars are currently allied with the Huguang scholars and can compete with the Jiangnan scholars, and the imperial party has become an extremely important weight. However, although Zhang Jingqiu and Gu Bingqian were originally from Jiangnan, their political tendencies basically followed Emperor Yonglong's attitude changed, and to a certain extent he was more inclined to the Northland Huguang Scholars Alliance, so the current delicate balance was formed.

The dust-up of the seven ministers and the censor of the left capital has settled, which means that the overall pattern has been set. Next comes the more intense competition between the left and right ministers of the ministries and the censor of the right capital of the Duchayuan, the deputy censor of the capital, and the censor of the capital. The battle for history.

Of course, this kind of competition is still controlled within a certain range, rhythm and bottom line. Some previously agreed opinions have basically been retained, such as Qiao Yingjia being promoted to the right capital censor, Yang Lian being the left deputy censor, Chai Ke He was appointed as the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Sun Juxiang was appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Miao Changqi was appointed as the left minister of the Ministry of Commerce, etc.

There have also been some changes. For example, Wang Yongguang and Han Xu were originally determined to go south to Jinling. However, after repeated disputes and hesitations, Qi Yongtai finally rejected his own view and believed that some of the uneasy situations in Jiangnan should be caused by Jiangnan scholars. Because of the dissatisfaction caused by the increase in taxes and the invasion of Japanese pirates, and because the DPRK really needed the support of these key ministers, Han Xu was eventually appointed as the left minister of the Ministry of punishment, Wang Yongguang was appointed as the left minister of the Ministry of household affairs, and only Jinling Tongzhi Yingtianfu Prime Minister Sun Ding was appointed as the censor of Nanjing Youdu.

Qi Yongtai even considered that the power in the court was insufficient. Qi Yongtai reorganized the layout and recalled Zhou Yongchun to the court to serve as the left minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War and Bi Ziyan as the left minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs. This also broke the previous pattern of Qingtan Academy. That is to say, one of the two chiefs and deputies of the Mountain Chief and the Dean of the Academy will serve as an official, and the other will maintain the stable structure of the academy. Fortunately, Qi Yongtai also made arrangements and invited Qi Shijiao, a scholar from the North who had been an official for many years, to serve as the Mountain Chief, and another Shaanxi scholar Wang Zhicai was appointed as the head of the court.

Feng Ziying was a little worried about Qi Division's arrangement, but she had no way of judging the possibility and risk of the Jiangnan Incident.

Although he was sure that Prince Yitada was definitely promoting the implementation of some of his plans in Jiangnan, it was unclear how the progress was going to be. In addition, he also believed that as long as Emperor Yonglong's physical condition remained as it was, there would be a possibility or success of Jiangnan's rebellion. The possibility is almost zero.

As long as a border army from Datong, Yulin, Jizhen, and Liaodong is randomly mobilized to go south, it can easily crush all the resistance forces in Jiangnan. This does not include how many people in Jiangnan really dare to risk all the people who follow Prince Yi Zhong in the uprising. ?

Therefore, Feng Ziying's judgment is that Prince Yi Zhong can't do anything in a short time, and Emperor Yonglong now wants to steadily control the situation. As the military power of the Beijing Camp gradually falls into the hands of Emperor Yonglong, the threat of General Chen Jixian of the Fifth Military Camp is also It has been reduced to the lowest level. The next step for Emperor Yonglong is probably to wait until the situation in the court is stabilized and completely eliminate Chen Jixian, the unstable factor at both ends.

With the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp in hand, Feng Ziying from the Fifth Military Camp believed that Emperor Yonglong had probably already begun arranging infiltration. As long as the threat of Chen Jixian was completely resolved, Emperor Yonglong would probably be able to rest easy, and there would be Jizhen You Shigong restrained Xuan Daniu Jizong and slowly replaced the general soldiers of the Xuanfu who were too close to Niu Jizong. In the future, even the Supreme Emperor would no longer be able to turn his hand to make clouds and rain.

Feng Ziying also knew very well that even if she was worried about Prince Yi Zhong's activities in Jiangnan, she could not actually do anything. She had already stated her concerns about the subtle changes in the situation in Jiangnan to Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia. Qi Yongtai He and Qiao Yingjia should also have discussed with Cui Jingrong, Wang Yongguang, and Sun Juxiang, but the conclusions they reached did not acknowledge their concerns. Of course, they were not unprepared. For example, if Zhou Yongchun, Bi Ziyan, and Sun Dingxiang were appointed as Nanjing It was a layout, but Feng Ziying still felt it was too thin.

According to this arrangement, the Minister of War in Nanjing, the Minister of Household in Nanjing, and the Yushi of Nanjing Zuodu will all be controlled by the forces in the south of the Yangtze River. If there is an accident, Zhou, Bi, and Sun are all deputies. Can they respond in time?

This kind of worry can only be kept in Feng Ziying's heart now. He has no power to change anything now. He can only carefully remind Qi, Qiao and others not to underestimate the risk of Prince Yi Zhong taking risks.

"Uncle, there's a letter from Beijing." Ruixiang hurriedly stepped in the door and handed it over with a letter in his hand.

During this period, Wang Wenyan would send a letter almost every three days, conveying various information from Beijing at any time. This was very costly, but Feng Ziying felt it was worth it.

After receiving the letter, Feng Ziying glanced at ten lines and quickly finished reading it. The Beijing inspection has come to an end, and the "big plan" to inspect the local area is about to begin. This also means that within a month or two, people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan will visit all the places.

It covers the north and south of the Yangtze River, including Yongping Prefecture.
